Mark 7:3-4
<4435> [oft. or, diligently. Gr. With the fist. Up to the elbow.]
Theophylact. [Pugme <\\See definition 4435\\>,] the fist; which Dr. Lightfoot illustrates by a tradition from the Talmudical tracts, that when they washed their hands, they washed the fist up to the joint of the arm, [ad perek.] The Jews laid great stress on these washings, or baptisms, [baptismos <\\See definition 909\\>,] considering eating with unwashen hands no ordinary crime, and feigning that an evil spirit, called Shibta, has a right to sit on the food of him who thus eats, and render it hurtful.
